FREE Your RVI £20 Gift Voucher, plus win dinner for 10 at any Ribble Valley Inn (value £300) and a local Food Heroes Hamper with a case of wine.

One of the secrets of RVI's amazing success is that our menus are crammed with traditional regional favourites, featuring ingredients sourced from the pick of local suppliers. But these are difficult times for many of our amazing band of artisan producers, farmers and suppliers...the people who have helped make the North West the undisputed food capital of Great Britain.

So it's even more important we support them in every way we can. That's why in January, February and March we're doing even more to keep it local by adding new seasonal dishes to our line-up and offering a £20 voucher FREE for those who dine with us on 5 occasions. *

* One of your stamps must be collected from the Highwayman

Claiming your FREE £20 RVI voucher couldn't be easier. Simply enjoy lunch or dinner in any of the Ribble Valley Inns between 2nd January – 31st March 2009, on 5 occasions, have your loyalty card stamped each time, hand the completed card to a member of staff and we'll send you a voucher for £20 at the end of the promotion...and enter you in our special competition, to be drawn on 13th April 2009.
